He knows the answer

What's wrong with Indonesia? What's wrong with this country? What's wrong with us?

Things seem to be getting worse every day. And now it's in the final stage. Nobody knows whether the present crisis will go on and on, or stop any moment. Nobody knows anything about it.

But I do know one thing. It's time for us to kneel down, to ask forgiveness from the Creator, God Almighty. Forget our selfishness, put aside our personal matters, and cry to God for help.

Now we realize we are very small. We are nothing. We have no idea how to solve the problem the nation is facing. We should never lose hope. God knows all the answers, so we can entrust all our problems to Him. If we are close to Him, He is close to us. Now is the time to ask Him for help because He alone knows the answers.
